Embodiment Construction

[0051] In the following description, various embodiments will be described. For purposes of illustration, specific configurations and details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. It will also be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Additionally, well-known features may be omitted or simplified in order not to obscure the described embodiments.

[0052] There are many known techniques for planting biotic and non-living objects into and on the ground. The most widely used is manual or manual planting, in which a person carries an object, usually a seed, sapling, or sapling, on his or her body, selects a site for planting the object, and uses one of a variety of tools such as a shovel or other equipment Seed to grow objects. Other techniques may involve planting objects using land-based machinery, often powered by people, such as tractors. Manual techniques can ...

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques, including systems and methods, for planting by using planting pods. A planting system can be configured to deliver pods including a payload (e.g., seeds, cuttings, or other planting materials) into or onto the ground at a predetermined location. In some embodiments, the automated planting system can include a mapping system that receives various sensor inputs and generates a map of a planting area. A pod planting system may use the map of the planting area to deliver pods to the planting area. The pod planting system may be executed automatically using the maps generated by the mapping system and / or manually by a remote operator. Each pod can include a payload to be planted on or in the ground by the pod planting system. Pods may be customized depending on the types of plants being planted, the terrain, prior planting results, etc.
